After one long season of waiting, after one long season of wanting

[balsamandash]

So, uh, hey, I'm still alive.

We are still living with my family, and my grandmother has been treating us and especially brightandravenous worse and worse, so we ended up moving our shit into my brother's room and basically hiding there for the last... month or so. Which has probably been better for us than not, but it's hard to do computer stuff in there, so I haven't really been online at all except for things that absolutely had to be done.

But we are contacting realtors and may have found a few serious contenders for apartments -- most of them aren't available til the first week of September, but hey, we can survive til then. And I don't have a job yet, but I do have plans for if I haven't managed anything once we move. So it could be worse. This state of limbo isn't a lot of fun to live in, but hey, I think we're almost through it.

Things I have been out-of-contact through include my birthday, a host of shit re: my mother's divorce and her ex being an asshole, and Bast and I coming up with entirely new verses/stories to play with that briefly ate our brain and probably will again when we come out of hiding. Also the periodic reigniting of my desire for tabletop being stoked by the game store 10 minutes down the road having a D&D night that I still haven't gotten the courage to go to. Probably other things too, but I am kind of out of steam and I need to go email realtors, so that's all I got.

Love you all, even if I've been dead quiet and bad at showing it. <3

Thank you! ♥

-all the hugs- I really hope you and Bast can GTFO of there quickly. You don't need family stress and drama.

[balsamandash]

*many hugs* I'm hoping. Some of the family drama might still linger (mother's soon-to-be-ex-husband continues to be an ass and I don't think that's ever changing) but at least we won't be in the center of it, you know? ♥

[worlds_of_smoke]

yeah. I know exactly what you mean. ♥

We're glad you're here and okay. We're also glad that you're getting to the point where you can get out of the toxic mire and into a space where you'll be able to build your own life on your terms. A little bit more and things get better.

♥ Thank you, and I'm glad you're here too. I really hope you're right. (And I think you will be; we just have to get through it.)
